Rāhu (Rahu)-Ketu in Tulā (Tula)/ Libra-Meṣa (Mesha)/ Aries on December 23, 2012


It is the transit of slow-moving planets that signals a shift in the Karma that is being experienced. Rāhu (Rahu)-Ketu, the shadow planets are specially noteworthy in this regard. They indicate the desires from past lives and in this life which act as Karmic compulsions and are very powerful. Their methods are contrary to the direct motion of the luminaries, Ravi and Chañdra (Chandra)/ the Sun and the Moon, since they are always retrograde.

The chart for the movement of Rāhu in Tulā (Rahu in Tula) and Ketu in Meṣa (Ketu in Mesha) is given below:

1
 
Some of the conspicuous features which reveal themselves in the entry chart, the Gochara Praveśa Cakra (Gochara Pravesha Chakra), are that Śani (Shani)/ Saturn and Rāhu (Rahu) are joined together. This is not a favourable Yoga and goes by the name of Śrāddha Yoga (Shraddha Yoga)/ Piṭṛi Doṣa (Pitri Dosha) indicating the influence and displeasure of departed spirits or those persons whose last rites were not performed, and whose souls have not found release. Exclusion, living under a spell, being compulsive about life-patterns and choices, experiencing setbacks, obstacles, shocks, traumas, suffering, sadness, pain, being possessed generally, possessed by notions, ideas,people, karmic webs and such heavy matters result from this Yoga.
 
The Yoga occurs in the Rāśi of Tulā (Rashi of Tula) and people with Tulā Rāśi (Tula Rashi)/ Libra either rising in the Lagna or with the Chañdra/ Chandra posited in this sign should be especially careful during this transit. If the Doṣa/  Dosha exists in the natal horoscope, advice should be sought else health and personal choices and decisions need to be considered. Tulā (Tula) is governed by Śukra (Shukra)/ Venus and it is relationships and business, events in the market place which will feel the real influence of this transit.  At the same time, ‘partying’  and indulging the senses will be at an all-time high with this combination happening.

Śani and Rāhu (Shani and Rahu) are Vāyu Tattwa Grahas (Vayu Tattwa Grahas) and rule thought. Being airy planets they can fuel debate and this debate can include those relating to sexual acts (Tulā (Tula)/ Libra) and more specifically criminal sexual acts such as rape and unnatural sex. The gangrape which has happened in New Delhi is an instance of this. There will be continued debate and intellectual outpourings on this, but most importantly the masses (Śani/ Shani) and rioters (Rāhu/ Rahu) would remain central to the issue.

A BRIEF LOOK AT THE TWELVE LAGNAS/ ASCENDANTS IN VEDIC ASTROLOGY

People are often curious at the beginning of their astrological quest, to know something of the various facets pertaining to their ‘chart’; in other words, they wish to evaluate the basic propensities pertaining to their Lagnas and their Rashi/ Lagna Kundalis (Kundalis). Also, the Chandra Lagna itself and Gochar furnish other popular areas of curiosity. Lagna is the sign rising on the Eastern horizon at the time of birth and is occupied by a Rāśi (Rashi)/ Vedic sign. The average duration of a sign rising in the Lagna/ Ascendant is two hours and for this reason the twelve Rāśis cover the twenty-four hours duration of the solar day. ( Basic Jyotiṣa principles can be accessed by clicking this link ) Lagna imbues a person with individuality and therefore denotes the self and the personality of the person. It is the first house or Bhāva of the chart and is the commencement point of any horoscopic study. We cannot forget that in all the divisional charts as well there is a Lagna/...

Vedic Astrology: The Charakaraka Replacement and Its Impact

At its deepest core Jyotiṣa is at the driving centre of all Karma. Just like life, if properly appreciated as it must, it has the status of a full-scale on-going project of immense magnitude. Karma and Soul : The Lagna and the Bhavas reckoned from the Lagna in the Rāśi Chakra indicate the physical manifestation of life. In the Varga Chakra the Lagna and the Bhāvas indicate the personality and realities of that specific environment. When we speak of Karma we inevitably speak of the soul as it is the soul which must carry and exhaust the Karma through rebirth. Charakāraka - Matters pertaining to the soul are studied and deciphered through the Charakāraka in Vedic Astrology. The Charakāraka are the temporal significators (Naisargika Kāraka) for various matters at the level of the soul and the Karma. The Charakāraka are decided on the basis of longitude of arc traversed by the planets including minutes and seconds of arc, and sometimes fractions of seconds of arc. The Eight Cha...

Transits of Jupiter, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu in 2025 in Vedic Astrology

Spring and summer of 2025 will be marked by notable shifts in transit of the slow-moving planets, Guru, Shani and Rahu-Ketu.  Important transits have the capacity to modify the results of the Dasha. In Vedic astrology/ Jyotisha, therefore, the two phenomena have to be examined together.  Jupiter/ Guru will move to Mithuna Rashi/ Gemini on May 14, 2025 and immediately thereafter the Nodes of the Moon, Rahu and Ketu also transit to Kumbha/ Aquarius and Simha/ Leo respectively. Shani/ Saturn will move to Meena Rashi/ Pisces on March 29, 2025.  Broadly speaking, in highly beneficial Dashas, positive transits lead to an icing on the cake situation, while negative transits can dampen the results or even negate them for a while. The effect can be construed accordingly for adverse Dashas, and so on.  It is well-known that Shani is the only Graha who gives added difficulties when He is strong. But a weak malefic is not to be desired because He becomes far more malefic. In oth...
